Russ Feingold Loses His Senate Seat to a Big Cartoon Bag of Money

Bad news for who like being governed by progressive Democrats. Good news for people who like being governed by comically-large sacks full of cash…

Three-term U.S. Senator Russ Feingold lost his re-election bid in Wisconsin on Tuesday to Republican [Canvas Bag Full of Money], the NBC TV network projected, adding another seat to Republican gains in the chamber.

Feingold, one of the most liberal members of the Senate, had trailed much of the race. He was challenged by [Bag of Money], a businessman, over his support for President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, and over government spending.

Nice work, Wisconsin! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are definitely not the worst state in the union.
